Re: Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have you been running any alternative ranking systems or have you edited your HOSTS file?

If so, revert your HOSTS file back to original.

No and what are host files and where can I find them??

Re: Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is a file located here:
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

edit it with Notepad.

This is ALL that it should contain:

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1       localhost

...So what is? I just got this game and I really want to play online with some friends. Do you think it may be an internet security or virus protection problem?

Re: Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ive never used 1.22, I'm using the new patch. Its both of them togeather right? I just got the game on Saturday so its fresh new. Could it be a problem with the patch?

[Bucknasty]

Re: Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
